How to get BPA out of the kitchen

Dr. Joel Kahn - Plastic water bottles are not the only sources of bisphenol-A (BPA), bisphenol-S (BPS), and phthalates.

Heart disease, nerve problems, sexual difficulties, cancer, obesity and premature puberty are among the many health problems associated with BPA exposure.
